生态批评在20世纪90年代成为文学研究领域的显学,它基于生态思想的基本原则,即整体的、和谐的、多样化的、相互依存的原则,重新评价和判断文学作品,旨在弘扬那些关爱自然,崇尚人与自然、人与自我、人与人和谐关系的思想。本文从生态批评的视角对薇拉·凯瑟的经典作品进行重新研究与阐释,并对作家具有前瞻性的生态意识进行剖析。 Ecocriticism became an explicit study in the field of literary studies in the 1990s. It re-evaluated and judged literary works based on the basic principles of ecological thinking, that is, principles of holism, harmony, diversity and interdependence. It aims to promote those who love Nature, advocating the harmony between man and nature, man and self, and man. This essay reexamines and explains Vera Cather’s classic works from the perspective of ecological criticism and analyzes the writer’s forward-looking ecological consciousness.
